Great remote work and learning opportunities, but no raises - Software Engineer Xcellent Technology Solutions Employee Review

For a first time job out of college the pay was great and the health benefits were solid. I never stressed about my job off the clock

Sometimes teams needed more direction

- Flexible work hours - Solid benefits overall - 401(k) matching up to ~3.5% - Pet insurance offered - Leadership development opportunities - Free access to Udemy courses - AI scholarship opportunities - No overtime expectations - No nights or weekend work

- Only 9 days of PTO to start - No separate sick time - Incentive raises are minimal (typically ~1% salary increase plus an extra ½ day of PTO per year) - No cost-of-living increases - No formal performance reviews or clear process to request raises - Limited opportunities for growth or advancement - Little to no guidance on career development or progression - Compensation is well below market compared to similar roles at other companies
